WARN Act Class Action Filed Against Heller Ehrman

A group of former Heller, Ehrman employees have filed a class action lawsuit against the firm under the WARN Act (29 U.S.C. § 2101) and the California WARN Act (Labor Code § 1400) Werth v. Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe LLP (N.D. Cal., Case No. C084799). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the firm conducted a mass layoff without providing sixty days advance written notice. We hear that a similar complaint has been filed against Thelen, but we haven't seen the complaint yet.
